Had a really great morning yesterday,
On the journey to the site where I go to photograph Hares ( about 8 miles) I Saw four separate Barnowls out hunting at first light.
A wet night followed by a dry sunny morning Never fails!.
This was one very obliging individual.
Canon EOS 20D 500mm IS lens 400ISO.

Beautiful colouration. imo portrait mode would of suited the pose and the eyeline of the owl slightly better. Still a great image of a wild one, I'd be very pleased getting it

Nice one, I'm not convinced on the pose of the bird and would have liked a bit of a head lift, or go with Kevs suggestion for a portrait crop with perhaps some more room at the bottom if you have it...
